Nice progress! Wiring is always a PITA, lucky for the rest of us goons hopefully you get through the tough stuff and it will be easier the 2nd time around!

What did you use for the support bushings?

Are you going to gusset the bottom of the brace?

Thanks!!!!!

I think the wiring was such a pain because I was running around the vehicle countless number of times... I need to do all the wiring in one section thru to completion... Then move to the next section!! I also pulled the trans wiring that was inside the vehicle... That is not necessary!! Don't do it!!!

I ordered OEM 540i transmission mounts...

I will be doing the bottom of the support after I figure if the drive line is straight... I can adjust height if need be before welding... I still have to trim the excess off the main support bar... I want to 45 the front bottom corner and dress up the edges...

I called about the drive shaft today... The parts are getting prepped for welding and it should be done tomorrow or next Monday at the latest...

Oh so close!! A little coding of some modules and.... Well, we'll see what happens...

Cheers!!!
